The City of Charlottesville’s three-tiered grant program to encourage residents to use e-bikes to get around town has a drawing every quarter of the year. Regardless of income, ALL adult (18 yrs and up) residents are eligible to apply for a $500 grant toward the purchase of an e-bike and/or certain related equipment from designated vendors.
The $1,000 and $1,500 grants are tied to income and/or participation in government assistance programs. You can check your eligibility on the City’s website.
Grant winners at any of the levels are chosen by a lottery drawing held each quarter. You have until April 30 at 11:59pm to enter the drawing for this quarter. The drawing will take place on Wednesday, May 6.
More information about this program can be found here and here and this is the link for entering the drawing.
